Is this month speeding by for you too?
Two weeks and this month, this year, will be done — in the books.
Are you making plans for 2024?
Are you thinking you want to do better in 2024 than you did in 2023?
Me too!
Watch after family and friends better. Pay more attention to my calendar. Bring my thoughts captive more. Study more. Read more. Are you thinking about those things too?
That’s what we do at the end of one year leading into a new one, right?
And that’s not bad. It’s good to reflect. Visions and plans are good too.
What does the Bible say?
People perish where there is no vision. Proverbs 29:18
What else does the Bible say about our plans?
Proverbs 16:9 “A man’s heart deviseth his way: but the LORD directeth his steps.” source
Don’t miss the verses before and after. We will surely need them in 2024.
We need them now.
Depending on the circles in which you read or listen you may be getting wind that 2024 may hold some rougher times than did 2023. Perhaps they are right. Perhaps not.
But on this, we can hang our hat, take it to the bank, and other clichés we hear or say, GOD will NOT forsake His Children.
25 I have been young and now I am old, Yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken Or his descendants begging bread. source
LORD willing and I make it to the new year, I’m taking this with me, how about you?
Wait, before I close — who are the righteous who can rest on this promise?
